Discount tickets available for Muzzy concert

Looking for something to do today?

Consider
taking advantage of a last-minute discount to attend this evening’s concert at
Muzzy Field featuring Journey’s former lead singer Steve Augeri and Russell
Thompkins, Jr and the New Stylistics.

Randy
Alexander, a Reach Foundation executive, said this morning that ticket prices
at the gate have been slashed sharply thanks to the generosity of Channel 8, a
sponsor of the 100th birthday celebration for the ballpark.

The cheapest
tickets have been reduced from $26 to $10 apiece.

Alexander
said that reserved seats in the outfield are $30 at the gate while lawn tickets
are $20 each and bleacher tickets are $10 apiece.

“It’s going
to be a beautiful night,” Alexander said.

He said the
bands are excellent and play their original hits. “These are not cover bands,”
he said.

The
Stylistics had 17 #1 hits on the rhythm and blues charts, he said, and Journey
has a reams of pop standards.

City officials
said everything is going well today after yesterday’s rains. There are booths
setting up this morning for everything from the city Republicans to animal
shelter advocates. There’s lot of food as well.

A carnival
is set up in the parking lot beyond the left field fence.

Tickets are
available beginning at 10 a.m. in the tent near the Spanish-American war
soldier at the entrance to Muzzy Field.

The concert
begins at 5:30 p.m.

Free
fireworks will follow the concert.

There are
events all day at the historic ballpark, too, from disc golf to an umpire’s
clinic. Opening ceremonies are slated for noon.

The discounts at the box office cannot be combined with any other discount offers.
